CLS got hit in the rear
I was pulling into a parking lot and the guy behind me clipped my bumper with his rim
Dropped the car off at the body shop today, should be done by end of the week, new bumper and drivers side exhaust.

Sorry to hear about the accident Vick. No matter how careful you are there's always someone that's not paying attention. Hope you get it back quick and the repairs turn out flawless.

Ouch...that's my fear all the time. We can be so careful but other idiots will just run into you. Luckily it just the bumper oppose to the front end. Sucks when it happens to a super nice car like your. Maybe a MEC rear bumper will be nice.

Got an update, it's going to take 2 weeks for the exhaust to arrive from Germany, bumper should be done this week. Estimated $5k damage (cdn$) I took the 20s off for two reasons, I usually take them off in November for the winter, but I figured since it's going to be sitting in a body shop I might as well slap the stockers on.

Sorry to see that damage to a great looking car. Mine is also white.
Make sure that your repairs includes a 4 wheel alignment and a total 3 stage wax job. You may also what to try to recover the lost value of your car as a result of "Diminished Value', only if the repair costs are coming from the other party. Google 'diminished vaule'
That MEC rear bumper is a killer. Might consider for mine.
